Fullerton Battery Attorney

Fullerton’s many young people congregate at bars around Wilshire and Harbor. As the night wears on and alcohol ingestion continues fights may break out resulting in arrests for assault, battery and assault with a deadly weapon by the Fullerton Police Department.

Batteries and Assaults can be charged as felonies or misdemeanors. If charged with a misdemeanor, the client cannot do more then one year in jail while felonies can send a person away to prison for more then one year.

Fullerton Battery Attorney Will Bruzzo has successfully used the defense of self defense to defend his clients. In one case, Mr. Bruzzo’s client was actually the first one to throw a punch which caused the victim to go into a coma when he hit the pavement. Despite the fact that Mr. Bruzzo’s client threw the first punch, Mr. Bruzzo was still able to effectively use Self Defense by showing that his much smaller client, reasonably thought he was about to get hit and so he acted preemptively in hitting first. The client was acquitted of all charges and walked free. See People v. Mark Vasquez. Contact the Law Offices of William W. Bruzzo for any battery case at (714) 547-4636.
